Today, my brother deleted all traces of the novel I've been working on for three years from my laptop. The reason? When I was born I "stole all of Mum and Dad's attention." He's 24. FML

In return, put a pillow over his face because "He's sucking up all the good air. "

Delete that ****** from your life. If he hasn't got over it by now, he never will.

Your brother is a dick. But you should already know that and have a password on your computer. Also, they make these newfangled things called CDs. You can store things that you really don't want to lose on them.

I know, right? CDs? WTF!? Or, like, flash drives? Or portable hard drives? Feeling retro? Floppy disk! If you're serious about this novel thing (just like everyone else on the internet, it seems) you should really back your shit up. A lot. In multiple places. So, although your brother is a tool, YDI for being a little docile.

Did you check your recycle bin, perhaps?

YDI for not creating a backup and password-protecting important data. Computer security is *not* this difficult.

Damn, I would be more than frustrated. What a jerk move. But yeah, backing that up would have been a beuno idea

YDI for not have a back up copy. On the bright side however, it probably would not have been published anyway.

great thing about computers is you can restore to a few days back ;) and recover the files

wow, that's some serious passive aggressiveness there. I used to feel bad about teasing my younger siblings, now I feel a lot better about that, haha! I'm sure there's a way to recover it. Lol, #13. Best Famliy Guy episode ever.

Well, for one, your brother sounds like a whiny baby for doing that. Secondly, I hope you learn now to ALWAYS keep a backup of something on a flash drive, and that you should keep it somewhere that he would never be able to find it.

run an undelete dumbass. there's plenty of cheap undelete programs that work well, and even a few free ones.
